Added as the top priority the main task that was part of this ticket when we designed this project (and that justified the time budget I requested): it won’t magically happen for free :)

Actually I don’t know how you rank Feature #6485 since you did not put it on the list, it has no “Deliverable for” and it’s not marked as a blocker of this ticket. I’ll start working on this ticket tomorrow so it’s kinda urgent that you tell me. In doubt, if I don’t get an answer by then, I’ll start working on Feature #15259 which is a must anyway.

Adding Feature #6485 to the dance: We need this to display only one feature “Additional Software” and remove “APT Packages” and “APT Lists”.

Status update:

  • Everything I had to do is done including all SHOULD items and all-but-one MAY items:
    • See the ticket description and subtasks for details.
    • As expected, the bonus Feature #15313 won’t fit into my time budget; it’s way outside of the scope of what I’ve committed to do on this project anyway so no big deal.
    • Until I’m told what else I should do or fix (e.g. when my team-mates work on automated tests, code review, documentation and UX testing) I’ll put this project on the back burner: mission^Witeration accomplished!
    • Alan will consult me regarding the design on a security boundary for the Additional Software config GUI.
  • Everything seems to work well when tested manually. I’m running the full automated test suite to ensure I did not introduce regressions elsewhere. We’ll know more once automated tests specific to the new features are written.
  • I’ve notified segfault that he can start his code review (Feature #14598).

Done and the results look good: no unexpected failure in areas impacted by this branch :)

Given all the requested work was done + we have other tickets for the code review and follow-up fixes after user testing, I don’t see any point in keeping this ticket open and I think we can call this completed in our next report to the sponsor.
